Wizard's top 200 characters

Anyone who reads Wizard Magazine must've read their list of the top 200 comic characters ever created. Luckily, Raph made it on the list (I can't remember what number he was, but hey, someone from the TMNT universe made it on the list!). The reason I'm posting this, however, is because of my rage at the fact that Wolverine was ranked number 1.

Now, I like Logan as much as the next guy, I do. I think he's a great character and I like him a lot. But to say he's better than Spider-Man, Batman and Superman? What the hell is that about? I would definetly put him in the top 10, sure. But listing him as the single greatest character ever created in the history of comics? Lame.

But anyone who reads Wizard knows that the staff is primarily made up of Wolverine fanboys, so I think a heavy dose of bias was in play. I mean, when Wolverine is on pratically every cover (or at least every other), and ridiculous articles are dedicated to him, such as asking comic creators who would win in a fight, Wolverine or every other f'n character in comics today, it's a sure bet that theses donkeys would make Wolverine #1. Maybe if a TMNT fanboy like myself was on the staff, maybe I'd get Raph to be #2.

57. Usagi Yojimbo

111. Raphael

And yea, have to agree with Wolverine at #1 being lame.

Did they simply rank them, or did they give a little info on their choices? I'd love to see what they said about Raphael.

I miss reading Wizard...

Where did the only comic character outside of the TMNT universe that I can still stand, Hellboy, rank?

Spoiler:

Here's the full list, I didn't write it myself, found it elsewhere.

Spoiler:

That list is ludicrous. Some characters (Snake-Eyes, Cobra Commander) aren't even technically comic characters, but are characters that appeared in comics. And I had to Google number six to find out who he was.

I am happy with Hellboy's spot, that wish that Usagi and Raph would have placed at least in the top 20.

The fact that Jason Todd is even on the least makes me disregard its credibility. Also Deadpool should have been in the Top 10

In my book, if The Question says he sucks, then that is indeed what is true. As a matter of fact, why didn't he even get on the list?

(I jest... I don't even know enough about that comic to judge #6).

Rorschach is on the list because not only is he from an Alan Moore comic, The Watchmen, that's won tons of awards, some for being the best Graphic Novel of all time, but there's a movie being made currently based off the comic.

I'm a bit baffled "The Maxx" is nowhere to be found on there and that "Howard The Duck" is even on the list.

Wolverine is just that badass, deal with it.

I wonder what makes Raph so damn superior to his brothers, tho'.

Raph shoulda been #1 but ya know I'm biased. :P

Raph was 111 I think.

At least he made it.

Exactly.

Raphael is just that badass, deal with it.

Besides the obvious move of putting Raphael and Usagi in the Top 10, the only thing I'd change from what I read of that list would be to put Wolverine right underneath the Joker. I'd think about moving Superman down a bit out of personal opinion, but he's too much of a classic for me to rightfully do so.

Sorry, but repeating my jokes doesn't make you as cool as me.

Hmm... come to think of it, this rank is terribly American-centered. Barely any European or Japanese characters are present.

You're right. It makes him cooler.

It's all right, though. It's not like a lot of American characters get on Japanese comic lists.

You'd think at least Tin Tin would be on there. Or Asterix.

But hey. The Tick got in at 187 or something. That's good, I suppose.

why is moon knight's butler not on that list? rage rage rage
